Hearing about the Citi Strata lineup for so long without them coming to market, I eventually dismissed their future existence.
Looks like according to Frequent Miler and this Reddit post, the release of the Strata Premier may be imminent on 5/16, with regular Premier apps being discontinued 5/9.
Will be interesting to see if the benefits will be significantly changed, or maybe a modest bump up with the inclusion of trvel protections. SUB eligibility for existing Premier holders will be another question. Might hold off on PC'ing to another Custom Cash later this year.
Thanks for those links @PullingMeSoftly. Well, this is puzzling. I thought the rumored Strata card was to be a replacement for the retired Prestige high-AF travel card. But the discussion on your links make it appear to be simply a rebranding of the Premier card with few if any changes other the name??? Certainly, CITI wouldn't go to the trouble to introduce a "new" card that is identical (or very close to) that of the existing card?

To your point that would be the Strata ELITE....coming soon to a Citi application near you, with a Amex Platinum type AF....Looks like they are going back to the old days of the Prestige and Premier days but calling them Strata Elite and Strata Premier....Elite is rumored to be a coupon book deal ala Amex Platinum....we will see soon....

Hmm, AA ended Bilt transfers, could this be going to Eilte for transfers?????? Amex/Delta relationship.
Been waiting over 5 yrs for something good to come around.
Exactly what you just said is what I'm hoping happens because the only way I probably would get this card is if it transferred thank you points to AA Miles

It would be a HR for Citi and about time since they have had a long relationship.
The only issue I see is that it would compete with the AA executive card, if it involves giving things like miles and access to admirals club à la AMEX Delta. American is so freaking controlling - pulling the tight reigns on what they control, they want to own everything when it comes to AAdvantage, including not giving loyalty points, and miles if you book through the wrong, i.e. "not favorable to American Airlines" travel agencies, so there's a question in my mind about how cozy Citi and American are. Unless Citi is "preferred"?
